Foundation team members are working tirelessly to prevent COVID-19 with community awareness-building sessions held in small groups with local leaders
and community members. These sessions encourage participants to be involved in
the prevention strategies of their own communities and prepare them to respond safely and appropriately.
Local teams are working closely with partner schools under the Transform Lives one
school at a time program to provide staff with information about how to
keep school facilities safe and sanitized during COVID-19!
